Our Community's Day of Giving!
On September 18, the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties and UpMobility Foundation will host the fifth annual “Mohawk Valley Gives,” a community-wide giving day to benefit nonprofit organizations serving the Mohawk Valley. Early donations will open on Monday, September 14. The event is proudly presented by Staffworks, M&T Bank, and Utica National.
During last year’s giving day, the community came together and raised more than $6.5 million benefiting hundreds of local organizations and we can't wait to see the outcomes for year five!
Participating nonprofits can promote their mission, raise unrestricted dollars to support their organization's needs, and be placed in the running for several prizes and incentives that will be awarded throughout the giving day.
Donors will have the opportunity to engage with local causes they care about by sponsoring prizes, starting a fundraiser to share with friends, family, and colleagues, or simply making a donation to one or more participating organizations on the big day!
Whatever part you play, YOU will help us make a difference. Let's show everyone that Mohawk Valley Gives!
2026 UMF Matching Grants
UpMobility Foundation (UMF) has partnered with the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties since 2024 to co-host Mohawk Valley Gives. As part of UMF’s commitment, the organization offers matches to select nonprofits participating in the giving day. In 2026, UMF's Mohawk Valley Gives matching grants will focus on building the capacity of its nonprofit partners, helping to scale innovative solutions and support the improved vitality of the nonprofit ecosystem.
UMF has restructured the matching grant selection process and is currently accepting applications for matching grants from organizations who are committed to maximizing their Mohawk Valley Gives results. Organizations with strategically developed MV Gives fundraising and community engagement plans are eligible to apply for a UMF match. More information and the grant application portal can be found on the UMF website, upmobility.org.
